Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) as amended by the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act
of 1988 (P. L. 100-418), the Department of Labor herein presents
the results of an investigation regarding certification of
eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for adjustment assistance
each of the group eligibility requirements of Section 222 of the
Act must be met. It is determined in this case that all of the
requirements have been met.
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
received on January 14, 2002, and filed on behalf of workers at
Tyco Printed Circuit Group, a division of Tyco International Ltd.,
Dallas, Oregon. The workers produce printed circuit boards.


The investigation revealed that sales and employment declined
at the subject firm during the relevant time period.
A Department of Labor survey of one of the subject firm's
major customers revealed increases in imports of printed circuit
boards during the relevant period.
A petition for eligibility to apply for NAFTA-Transitional
Adjustment Assistance has been filed on behalf of workers at the
subject firm (NAFTA-5857).
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I conclude that increases of imports of articles
like or directly competitive with those produced at Tyco Printed
Circuit Group, a division of Tyco International Ltd., Dallas,
Oregon contributed importantly to the decline in sales or
production and to the total or partial separation of workers of
that firm. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, I make
the following certification:
"All workers of Tyco Printed Circuit Group, Tyco International
Ltd., Dallas, Oregon engaged in employment related to the
production of printed circuit boards, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after December 17,
2000, through two years from the date of certification are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed at Washington, D.C., this 14th day of June, 2002.
